output.
The GEO S Series is the result of a three year intensive R&D
project that has produced three fundamental patent
applications in loudspeaker technology. The performance
advantages produced by GEO innovations are easily
measurable and clearly audible. With two full range tangent
NX241 Digital TDController

array modules and a hypercardioid subbass, the S Series offers

total flexibility to design and deploy horizontal or vertical
tangent arrays with coherent output. From high-definition
musical reproduction to high output paging systems, GEO
Technology delivers optimal performance in venues of all
shapes and sizes.

SYSTEM OPERATION
Electronic Controller

The NX241 Digital TDController presets are precisely matched to the GEO S8-Series cabinets and include
sophisticated protection systems. Using GEO S8-Series cabinets without a properly connected NX241 Digital
TDController will result in poor sound quality and can damage components. The GEO S830 & S830 can be
used without the optional CD12 Hypercardiod Sub. In this case the NX241 can be used in stereo. With the
CD12 Hypercardiod Sub each Sub channel requires two NX241 outputs and the NX241 will operate in mono.

NEXO is a world leader in the design

and manufacture of loudspeaker
systems for sound reinforcement.
Since 1979 we have pursued
practical solutions by addressing
problems at fundamental levels.
Each new design is generated using
proprietary computer simulation
software. Extensive modeling and
simulation of critical parameters
enables us to translate conceptual
breakthroughs into significant cost
and performance gains.
Nexos comprehensive line includes
the breakthrough GEO Series, based
on fundamental wavesource patents,
the compact, versatile PS Series, the
world standard Alpha System and the
Alphae Series. Loudspeakers,
analogue and digital control
electronics and amplification are all
designed to deliver
Sonic Innovation That Works.

HF Dispersion Configuration After quick release of the front grill from its fittings, the HF Waveguide can be configured for 80 or 120
dispersion in the non-coupling plane.
Array Design

S830 and S805 cabinets, having tangent waveguides, can be mixed in the same array. Minimum
configuration for Vertical Tangent Arrays is 5x S830 & 1x S830 (4x S830 for paging applications only). CD12s
are optional: a ratio of 1 CD12 per 3 full range GEO modules is required for proper subbass output.

Speaker Cables

The GEO S830 and S830 are wired 1- & 1+ on both Speakon connectors, 2- & 2+ are not connected.

Rigging System
